Question 1

Accepted Answer

Lotrimin,lamisil (terbinafine): This could be fungus infection which will respond to antifungal creams such as lotrimin, micatin or lamisil (terbinafine).If persistent see md for prescription oral meds if  necessary.

Question 2

a red  itchy rash on the inner side of my leg near the groin area for over 1 month. it decreases when i take anti biotics. i want a permanent solution?

Accepted Answer

Which antibiotics?: Tried anything yet? Can try clotrimazole, miconazole, or ketoconazole cream. Might add hydrocortisone cream for a few days. Continue azole cream for several weeks. Most groin rashes get WORSE with antibiotics. The DETAILS matter.

Question 3

red itchy rash under breast and groin area it looks like sun burn with bumps. i'm itchy all over but no rash other then those areas. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection?: If you are overweight, the areas under the breasts, the love handle, and the groin are more susceptible to candida infection. If this applies to you, try to keep these areas dry by using antiperspirant .  In the meanwhile try some anti-fungal cream on the areas for a few days.  If still not improved after a week, see you doctor. For overweight people, losing some weight should be a long-term goal.

Question 4

what should i do about a red itchy rash in my groin?

Accepted Answer

Try this: Get an over the counter antifungal powder spray. Most likely you have a fungal skin infection commonly called "jock itch." If there is fever, or pus draining or labia swelling see a doctor.

Question 5

i have a itchy red rash on my groin, its can be dry at some times and crack. it is accompanied by thick white discharge, is this signs of a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess: Itchy rashes can be from many causes, such as: allergic reactions to various things (such as parts of sports equipment), hives, fungal skin infections, viral or bacterial infections, medication causes, heat rashes, reactions to creams or lotions, internal problems (such as kidney disease, auto-immune disease), etc... That means a rash that persists or is worrisome should be checked by a doctor.

Question 6

hi. i am 27, male. i have recently got soome red rash in groin area... it's a little itchy... what can be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Fungal Infection: Most likely  you are suffering from a fungal infection of the skin. It is commonly referred to as jock itch. The main culprit is the humid environment created by sweat and folding of the skin. This creates optimal place for fungus to grow. Medical term used is tinea cruris. Can be treated with avoiding tight clothes, keeping area dry, and using otc anti-fungal cream like lotrimin (clotrimazole). Good luck.

Question 7

male 66 has itchy red rash around and in navel, some bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Omphalitis: Sometimes seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. Chronic omphalitis is most often a young male adult who has a hairy abdomen with a deep navel. Persistence of the embryonic urachus may pull the umbilicus in deep. The hairs have tiny barbs which make them stick deeply into the umbilicus where they are irritating.

Question 8

occasional tingling sensation in pubic area (like something is crawling around down there),  occasional pink spots/rashes? in pubic area. redness in groin crease. a few pimples in the area (not painful or itchy) urine does appear darker in color at times.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: and have it checked, diagnosed then it can be treated.

Question 9

21y male itching balls, then flat red rash on penis head, now few itchy bumps on balls (1cm each) itchy rash on inner thighs itch mostly @ night?

Accepted Answer

May be fungus/yeast: It is very difficult to diagnose any kind of rash in genital area without looking at it. My guess is that it  is a fungus or yeast infection. Try any antifungal like Monistat-derm. Follow the directions of using it properly and if not better in a week, see a Dermatologist if you can or see a family doctor.

Question 10

male 27. i have a painful, itchy rash or small red bumps, blisters or sores on my penis what is the cause and what prescription can you recommend ?

Accepted Answer

.: The differential diagnosis is huge. It could be a STD to fungal infection to herpetic rash. You need to see a doctor, get examined and obtain proper labs before you receive any meds.
